Saturday 13 Jan 18 OPA Retail therapy and weekly motel cottage

Woke up feeling a bit off, physically, and less so but slightly  mentally and  emotionally. Had breakfast and went back to bed for a few hours. Posted earlier comments on small decisions. Guess feeling a bit overwhelmed mentally.

Eventually got up and ready to venture forth. Thought I'd do some photo therapy. Ended up doing retail therapy instead. 

First stop was Sequim RV Inn. They have weekly and monthly rates for small cottages with kitchen. No monthly ones available. Weekly ones are kinda small, would save money over EconoLodge, but....think about it I am good here until Wednesday at least. 

Right ear lobe is infected and need a simple post that I can put in and leave in to sleep. Harder to find that thought. First stop was store 'birds of a feather'. Handcrafted soaps and other items. Found a nice locally made Christmas tree ornament, note on it for first winter here. Also some root beer hard candy. 

Next stop was downtown Sequim stores. Parking is free, a very nice change. First stop was Field Notes, nice nature themed items. A place to look at once settled for some home decoration items. 

Second was the Good Book store, going out of business. Nothing of interest there for me today. Then Forage, Gifts and Northwest Treasures and pay dirt. Wonderful store. Owner Theresa Rubens was there. Lots of neat items. Good local candies. Some interesting camping items. Local maps. Some cards with local images. Those racks were only half full. She is running a contest looking for more local images. Picked up info and passed along to two local Twilighters I know that take pictures, Estella and John, and maybe Katryna and Melissa. I will work on the wifi bridge for the old computer and see about submitting some images. No earrings, but lots of other things. She also has another store down a couple of doors that would have earring posts.

So on to Solar City's, Tesa Boutigue & Tanning Retreat. Another interesting place, but only earrings today. They had a bowl full of posts. Had fun looking at each. Some unique shapes and colors. Picked out five, then three, then one. Cute little owl in sterling silver. 

Then to Applebee's for dinner. Ok, I know two dinners out and both at chain restaurants instead of local. After not feeling so good this morning after dinner last night wanted safe and simple. Good steak and baked potato dinner. Stopped at QFC for sunflower seeds on way to motel. Their bulk section was up and they now had roasted and unsalted sunflower seeds. 

A good ending to a mixed day.
